1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,880 New York Times released an article that's getting a lot of play that says that there are thousands of people who say they're still suffering side effects they believe from the vaccine and that those have been ignored. 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:27,460 Now, one of them is nurse practitioner Sean Barkovich. He says he got his first dose in 2020, had side effects, just standing up, sent his heart racing, stinging pain in his eyes, mouth, groin. 3 00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:33,560 Those have gotten a little bit better, but he still has what they call tinnitus. That's a ringing in the ears. 4 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:44,020 We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, a.k.a. side effects, but nobody's really talking about it because they're too afraid of blame and they just want it to go away. 5 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:55,180 But the problem is people like Sean and me and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their blood work and their lives and their feelings, you know, physically are not going away. 6 00:00:55,180 --> 00:01:06,040 Sean Barkovich joins us now. Sean, why do you believe it's the vaccine and what has happened when you've tried to get clinical analysis of it or answers? 7 00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:09,980 Why do I believe this? It's not a belief. It's a fact. 8 00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:21,760 And as soon as I was injured, 15, 20 minutes of my first dose, I had numbness tingling up and down my injected arm that over a day spread to my face and my eyes. 9 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,500 I went to see a neurologist. He ran some tests. He's like, well, this is all new. 10 00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:31,300 We don't know much about it, but the hospital is going to mandate it. 11 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:43,480 You should get a second dose and everything in my medical mind and my in my bones was telling me, no, if you have a reaction after something, don't do it again. 12 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,260 But the pressure was immense. And then three weeks rolled around. 13 00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,220 I got a second dose. And after that, everything blew up. 14 00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:59,100 I went from being a healthy, 100 percent healthy, fully functioning nurse to in a complete downward spiral of health. 15 00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:01,060 I had a myriad of symptoms. 16 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:10,080 Have you gotten any clarity from doctors or from the drug manufacturer putting out any information about what could happen as a side effect? 17 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:20,160 No, as as a research nurse practitioner and somebody who worked on vaccine research, I I thought after I was injured, there would be people to help me. 18 00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:25,160 I'm like, I'm in New York City. I will have the there will be medical people ready to help me. 19 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:30,720 There must be interest to find out what happened or what went wrong in with me. 20 00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:33,260 I reached out to my political representatives. 21 00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:36,980 I reached out to the NIH, the CDC, the FDA. 22 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,700 I got no answers. 23 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,260 No one wanted to touch it. 24 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,420 I got token responses back or no response. 25 00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:48,580 And so I went on a mission to research myself and help others. 26 00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:52,940 What have you found out and what do you see in your blood work? 27 00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:01,220 So I sent in the early days when I couldn't get answers here at home in America, I sent my blood over to Germany. 28 00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:05,600 And I had help with connecting with German scientists. 29 00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,540 They were more interested to help me than people here in my own country. 30 00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:14,600 And that that testing showed I developed several auto antibodies. 31 00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:21,820 Some scientists believe are attributed to this POTS or positional tachycardia that you mentioned, where every time I stand, my heart zooms. 32 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,460 So some of my auto antibodies look similar to people with long COVID. 33 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,200 And I never had COVID. 34 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,360 And that was proven through immunological studies of my blood. 35 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,260 They could not find any viral antibodies. 36 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,300 I think there's really no incentive to get out in front of this. 37 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,580 I mean, nobody's going to get patted on the back for saying, yeah, Sean's right. 38 00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:52,540 There are side effects on some of the vaccines or all of the vaccines that we should be talking about and figuring out how to treat. 39 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,580 And there is long COVID. 40 00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:54,080 And there's lots. 41 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,600 Nobody wants to say that because it's all political now. 42 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Right. 43 00:03:57,980 --> 00:04:00,540 And we're caught in the crosshairs of the politics. 44 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:10,500 We're, you know, I thought that all my pro vaccine colleagues would, you know, that championed me on would be there to lift me up and help me. 45 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,780 And in fact, they're the ones who turned around, dismissed, denied and tried to censor and bury me. 46 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:20,860 They're afraid that by showing my face, I'll drive vaccine hesitancy. 47 00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:30,060 But what they don't realize, and what I have come to realize, is that the censorship and the hiding of it is actually fueling vaccine hesitancy. 48 00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:35,860 If the government had just said, hey, these are novel vaccines, we don't, you know, there will be reactions. 49 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Let's just have a program in place to deal with them. 50 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:39,880 Right. 51 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:45,100 Set up a fund to obligate the manufacturers to provide help or research. 52 00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:49,160 I think people, the citizens would have appreciated that. 53 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:52,340 But instead, what happened is they just suppressed me. 54 00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:54,080 And that also shocked me. 55 00:04:54,180 --> 00:05:01,380 When I tried to reach out online, Facebook, Instagram, they would tag my messages as if I'm misinformation. 56 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,820 Yeah, that's right. 57 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,440 And I'm just a desperate person that something bad happened to, and I'm reaching out and pleading for help. 58 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,560 Well, let me tell you something, Sean, I can't help you because I'm no clinician. 59 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760 I'm just, I'm sick myself. 60 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,260 But I'm working with people who are working on this. 61 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,960 So I'll make sure that we're in touch right after the show, and I'll help any way I can. 62 00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:24,880 You may be ahead of me. 63 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,500 I'll hook you up with my clinicians, and maybe you can share different protocols and things that may help. 64 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,080 But I will never stop reporting on this. 65 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:41,520 And all I'm doing is just beating the drum of you need to have a 9-11 style commission to figure out what worked and what didn't and what questions need to be.
